Weekend Open Forum: How many displays are on your desk?
Having been gifted the 27-inch LG M2762D-PM last week, I was officially initiated into the dual-display club -- and I'm hooked. Now that the novelty of having a secondary monitor is wearing off, I can truly say from a utilitarian stance that having two screens is a blessing -- and three would undoubtedly be handier.
In this edition of the Weekend Open Forum, we'd like to hear about your monitor setup and how it fits your needs. Are you still roughing it with a 15-inch CRT? Long upgraded to triple 30-inchers? No matter the case, feel free to share them in the comments. If you're interested, you can also upload a picture here.

I have a 4 display setup consisting of 2x Samsung 22" 1680x1050 panels, 1x HP 24" 1920x1200 panel, and 1x Dell 20" 1600x1200 panel. Powered by a 8800GTX for the HP & Dell monitors on bottom, and a 8600GT for the two Samsungs wall-swivel-mounted above them.
I want to punch babies and shoot baby bunnies when I'm forced to use a low res, single display setup any more. I've been corrupted beyond repair.

Two 24" Acer P244W's at 1080p.
I used to run one 24" Acer, two 19" Samsungs with XBMC on my 26" TV, but it was just too much desktop management. I've since built an HTPC and put it in the living room. I have a shot of that old setup here:
